Leap of Faith

How hard it is for us to trust as we grow older.

The more we see, the more we learn. The more we learn, the more we hurt. We close up ourselves to protect us from getting burn. We make believe that we are tough, that we have a heart of stone. We try not to let others and their decisions affect us in anyway.

And so it goes on. Like an old carousel with all its faults and creaking and all that, we still get on it..watching the world from the safe confines of one of the carriages, wondering if it will ever stop spinning.

But then there comes a time when we'd have to get off the carousel..because you realize that when it stops spinning, there's no more music left, no more safe carriages attached mechanically to a motor, no more dizziness and you see the world for what it is..and you take that leap of faith, to learn to trust again..to trust that your instincts are right this time..that you will not fall again.

***Note to self: DO NOT FALL!
